I know that some people here don't think Superman needs his cape to be able to fly.... but maybe in the Reeve films he does! Think about it.... in STM Superman had the line that he would wrap Lois in his cape to keep her warm; does this suggest that the cape has special powers? Well that line was cut... but what about the scene in the Donner cut when Jor-EL explicitly says that the red, yellow and blue blankets were SPECIFICALLY MADE by Lara to ensure Kal-El's strength. This is proof positive that Superman gets his powers at least in part through his cape! Even in SIV, Superman can't get the strength to fight Nuclear Man until Lois gives him back his cape! Whatever side of the fence you are on... you gotta admit the Reeve films provide strong evidence that Superman cape is at least somewhat magical. Adam, the Superman mythology is huge and includes the comics, tv shows, radio serials, cartoons, not just the movies. And especially NOT Superman IV!  ;D It has been stablished that Superman gets his powers FROM the sun due to his genetic makeup; his suit (cape included) is just his uniform that represents his alien nature and how unique he is. Sure it's stronger than most things on Earth, but it isn't indestructible. In fact, I like it when the suit tears off a little. It's more dramatic. Here are some pics of the recent comics (the New Krypton storyline), and as you can see, the cape is a common thing among them, and it varies in colors,   And in this one he doesn't wear a cape and still can fly... sigh, he looks so good in his new uniforme.   |

I criticized SR enough... I'm gonna try to do a better treatment by making up a new SR story as I go along. No planning ahead or editing... just an off the cuff treatment... I bet it'll be better than the real thing lol!
TITLE CARD
It has been 10 years since Superman defeated the evil General Zod and ended his reign of tyranny on Earth.
Lex Luthor has gone away to prison again and Clark (Superman) is still working at the great Metropolitan newspaper The Daily Planet.
However, a strange alien has landed on Earth unbenownst to Superman... the dreaded DOOMSDAY.
Unfortunately, before Superman can find out about this terrible creature he decides to leave the planet that called him a hero... his adopted planet... EARTH.
He left because he thought he saw alien activity in outer space and thought that it might be evidence of the continued existence of his mother planet... KRYPTON.
Unfortunaetly, this "activity" Superman saw was actually Doomsday's craft heading for Earth.
Now, the Earth is without it's greatest savior... SUPERMAN and is at the terrible mercy of the horrid beast Doomsday!
And thus the tale of Superman's absence and hopeful return............................................................................................................ begins.......

We begin with the President taking a nightime phone call in the Oval Office:
President: You're gonna go huh... I just had this place fixed it cost the tax payers a fortune.
Superman is on the other line
"I never lie Mr. President... I can see through things but sometimes not too far... but I have to be sure.
President: "Just remember... you not gonna let us down... gasp!
The President sees Superman outside the Oval Office window
President: You do get around!
Superman: Always sir.... I'll be back soon!
President: And if you find anything?
Superman: Than I'll bring friends!
With that Superman SOARS into outer space
CREDITS
During the INTERGALACTIC CREDITS the faint glow of Krypton in the background get clearer and closer. By the end of the sequence... we see that it is NOT Krypton... but a SPACE SHIP Inside the ship is many aliens attending to a monstrous beast strapped to a metal table DOOMSDAY!!! Camera closes in on Doomsday's red eye piece into.....
Metropolis at dusk... a blood red sky... into the Daily Planet...
more later of my right-off-the-top-of-my-head superior SR treatment!!!

We see Lois typing away on her typerwriter:
Lois: ".... and so begins our media blitz of the hostile takeover of Weapon Corps by Lionell Luthor... son of the infamous lex.
Uh... jimmy how do you spell infamous?
Jimmy: Spell check Lois... it's all the rage.
Lois: I'd need a computer for that... a word class reporter likes to work with her hands>
Jimmy: Well with no Superman to write about anymore
Mr. White comes storming in
WHite: "No Superman indeed!! Circulation has been down 35% since last quarter because that caped wonder went bye-bye. Didn't he just come back from God-knows-where? And he didn't even bother to fix my wall!!
The camera pans back to see a big gapping hole in Mr. Whites wall where the villains had crashed through
Jimmy: "Uhh.. maybe he didn't hear about
White: Ahh go get me some coffee with sugar! Lane get over here!
Lois: Right chief!
White : Look Lois I'm happy to see you have taken an interest in this Weapon Corp deal with that Lional guy. There's I got you your tickets to the grand opening on the newest Lab...
Lois: It WILL make a terrific story chief
WHite: Uhh.. just get on with the sex and violence of it all. And one thing... take Olson with you
Lois: Why not Lark?
White: He's on vacation.. cashed in his time.
Scene cuts to Ma Kent in the Bahamas looking up at the sky.
Ma Kent: Wherever you're going son... remember us
Camera ZOOMS into outer space......

We see Superman flying through the reaches of outer space. We see a flash-back to Superman II (Sorry I've been away so... long... I won't let you down again.) Then we overhear Superman saying "We all part of the same team!" A tear runs down Superman's cheeck as we hear the voice of JOR-EL say "The virtuous spirit has no need for thank or approval. Only the certain conviction.... that what.... has been done...... is right. God damn this story is gonna suck unless I do a proper outline instead of just writing whatever first comes to my head without thinking much about it.... set ups are easy enough I guess... well get used to this thread everyone. It will be constantly evolving into THE BEST SUPERMAN SCRIPT EVER!!! Please no one respond though because I wanna keep this thread pure. Uhhh... so yeah it's gonna keep on going because I got da skillz. |

So there's this blog called singer superman sucks. Man, it's funny. The guy calls Brandon Routh "ol' BJ Routh" and refers to the film as Singerman.
Dang, I can't help but feel that that guy is going over the line saying ol' BJ Routh this and ol' BJ Routh that..... I mean why hate SR to the extent that you refuse to say Brandon's name??

Simple, they hate SR/Brandon/Singer for the simple reason that the movie was made, and that lots of people liked them... |

I actually DID watch it on youtube. Any lurkers out there on the fence about picking up SR, just go here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9DyUNqBjsk Why did Superman intentionally crush someone's car with the Daily Planet Globe?   It's not like Superman wasn't strong enough to place it somewhere else. |

Tell me, Why did Superman drilled a hole with his own body on the sidewalk in STM when he wanted to find Lex? Why did he make another hole on the ceiling when he needed to stop the missiles in STM? Because he WAS IN A HURRY.  |

Make up what Jor-El told Lex!!!
Lex: Tell me everything, beginning with the crystals!
Jor-El: My son, on Krypton we made buildings made our of crystals by putting small crystals in a "strange surface" we called water!
Lex: Really...
Jor-El: Yes, my son so if you want to grow an island somewhere you can throw a crystal into the water and one will grow!
Lex: You don't say..
Jor-El: I do my son. But don't grow too many crystals, they're only 8 of 'em and they contain all the knowlege in the universe... once they're gone, they're gone!! Use maybe one or two... save the rest for later!
Lex: Is that all?
Jor-El: Well, yeah it is my son.
Lex: Do you have anything else to tell me about Krypton technology??
Jor-El: Nahh my son. We just threw crystals in water... that's pretty much it.
Lex: Oh.
Jor-El: So..... uh... you can stick around here if you want my son... I'm prolly gonna turn off right now... if you need anything or whatever you can just use a crystal to call me.
Lex: Yeah sure, well see later. Well might as well take these crystals and throw'em in some water.

Just wondering Adam, as a long time reader, recent typer-rer, you don't, like, say, model yourself on Holden Caulfield do you? With you pseudo inellectual rants and occasional drunken stumbles, do you? Like no offence, I'm just asking. Maybe I'm wrong. I have been before, occasionally. And Superman Returns aint all that bad. Just thought I'd throw that in there. Cheers. (insert smiley here to show that things aint all so bad)  |

Troll eh? Every forum should have a pet. Just keep it on a leash.
Regards to an earlier comment of "I'm always around" I think the film makers missed an opportunity by not putting in The Beach Boys "I Get Around" as Supes flies off into night to fly past the camera for the ending.
Future fan edit idea, anyone?
Shouldn't post in here though and bump the thread anymore than it deserves.

Well........
Do you all think that it makes more sense for SR to be considered Superman V? I mean the story logically takes place after SupermanIV!
Do you all think that SR makes more sense as SV as opposed to SIII?
Like, Superman says in SIV that there are "galaxies out here, other civilizations to meet and learn from..." kinda makes sense that he would leave after saying that.
Does Lois and Superman have sex in SIV? Well, who says that they didn't?? Maybe Superman and Lois had sex right after the events of SIV?
Because treating SR as a sequel to SII makes it wierd because if Lois remembers having sex with Superman in SII she would HAVE to know that Superman is Clark. So I think they had sex sometime between SIV and SR.

Adam, no one cares. No one.
All you've been doing is deleting and reposting your last post. You repeatedly bump this thread and get ZERO responses. Take a hint.
This thread has run its course.
